Lyrics to “Hide & Seek”

The television a one trick pony
The same routine of talking heads
I know you’d tell me, I should get some sleep
I just can’t remember where I put my bed

So tonight across the ocean
Kids are planting roadside bombs
Hungry kids, so brave and scared
Fed on hate they grow strong

The morning paper, has forgotten
How to make the boats we sailed as kids
It’s hard to believe you’re not playing hide and seek
You were always so much better than me

So tonight across New England
Mothers throw plates against the wall
The pieces shatter and crumble to the floor
It doesn’t make them feel better at all
